Comment (by antoniou79):

 After a bit of investigating on how the _searchPath is changed during the
 game, I think that this is either an original bug, or the intended
 behavior.

 Upon launching the game, at the main menu, _searchPath is an array of one
 value, "C:\DKYData\DirFiles\", which then changes to
 "C:\DKYData\XObjects\Win\", then back to "C:\DKYData\DirFiles" and finally
 to "C:\DKYData\NT\NA\". In all these changes, the first and only value of
 the _searchPath array is changed for the new one. It is not appended at
 the end of it (this is definitely intentional). The "C:\DKYData\NT\NA\"
 value loads the "MnTitle.aif" music file successfuly.

 When playing the game, _searchPath can get another (first and only) value,
 eg. "C:\DKYData\ML\MA\", but returning to the main menu does not seem to
 trigger any change for this value to become "C:\DKYData\NT\NA\" again, and
 so the main menu music fails to load.

 I've seen some footage of someone playing the original game on Windows 3.1
 on Youtube, and indeed the menu theme music (for file "MnTitle.aif") is
 not playing when returning to the main menu after playing the game for a
 while.
